hello Edward,
If I understand wrong, ignore this message.
As I understand, "listener listens requests of client processes, then passes
them to server processes."
When I client connects to server, It uses a random port on client and uses
listener port number of server. After server receives requests on listener
port, listener process creates new dedicated process and assigns a new random
port number to new dedicated process. This is called redirection. After new
port is assigned to dedicated server, this port number is transmitted to client
process. Then, all subsequent requests of client are done between client's
current port and new assigned server port, not listener port. Listener is no
longer is used. That is why when a listener is stopped, active client processes
keep running. That is why although listener port is registered in firewall
definitions, users get problem since new assigned random port may not be
registerd in firewall.
This can be seen in sql*net level-16 traces.
regards...
